Emergencies can happen anytime – are you ready?
Being ready for an emergency is about more than just having the right supplies.
Real preparedness means we all work together—individuals, communities, organizations, and governments. When we support one another, we can respond faster and recover more easily when emergencies happen.
To help keep you, your family and community safe during an emergency:
- Know the hazards that could affect you
- Develop an emergency plan
- Have an emergency kit
- Practice your plan
- Stay informed
This year’s Emergency Preparedness Week runs from May 4 to 10, 2025, and the theme is “Be Prepared. Know Your Risks.”—a reminder to know the risks in our communities and know which actions to take to protect ourselves and our households.
